ROME: An Italian priest has turned Dante's voyage through the underworld into an ambitious opera, setting the medieval poetry of "The Divine Comedy" to rock rhythms, Gregorian chants and Italian melodies.
Producers of "The Divine Comedy: The Opera" plan the debut in Rome in autumn, then take the work to Milan and abroad, said Monsignor Marco Frisina, a musician and composer who wrote the music and part of the opera's libretto.
